Can you use any liquid soap in this pump? I used a creamy handwash in my old one and it stopped working. I then read I shouldn't have used it.

I would not use a cream style soap in your foaming dispenser. Stick to clear - there are many out there that are mild and you won't be using as much soap, so less harsh on skin.

i bought 2 of them, and they both stopped working after the first refill (with foaming soap). i threw them both away.

I believe you can only use clear type liquid soaps in any of the foaming pumps, not creamy ones. I don't think you'll be able to find one that says creamy soap is ok. Having said that, any clear soap will work fine. I'm using Philosophy gingerbread man shampoo/bodywash in mine. It's working fine.

I have had one of these for over a year, used daily and refilled often with no issues. I use the Method clear soap refill in mine and it works like a charm. I've played with different ratios of more/less water to see how it changed the soap and the ratio using the fill lines on the bottle is the best for us.

I use Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap - it works perfectly, it's not creamy or thick and foams very well - I still water this soap down even though it's not so thick to start with. This is the only liquid soap I do not have any difficulty with.

I use Wal-Mart's "equate" brand of Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap Refill, in my Cuisipro Foam Pump. This has worked well the past three years. However, this is my third Cuisipro Foam Pump container. With the first one bought, I misused the pump, by pouring a previously diluted mixture into the empty pump, and out came a "slimy" texture. The pump was useless after that. But that was after I had used it properly for several months. The second container's pump would not stay connected to the lid, so that was a Cuisipro problem. But I agree with an earlier review, I think any concetrated soap will work. Hope your trial is successful.

I use my Dr Bronners liquid soap and it works like a charm. I have heard of some using dawn dish soap too!

It works like any other foam pump. You can use the stuff made for foam pumps or you can use regular liquid soap and dilute it 1:5.

No, it will not pump soap. It is only good for very lightweight water pumping duties. Mine worked fine for maybe one hour and now only works once in awhile. I do not recommend this product now. Steve

Hi Joseph,if you have tried to soak it in lubricants and its still not working i would just order another pump cup.I don't think they would be that expensive.Hope this helps.Stephen

I am using a foaming soap made for foam soap dispensers. It's the Target brand (Up and Up) of antibacterial foaming soap, which I've used for years & is similar to the Dial brand. I've had this dispenser a few days and it seems OK with this soap. I've never tried to mix "traditional" liquid soap and water in any foam dispenser.

To the best of my knowledge you can use non foaming hand soap in the foaming container. The container itself makes the soap foam.. Since the simple human dispenser is not designed to foam liquid soap I would say No. It till not foam even refills which Say they are foaming soap.

From my experience with a lot of these dispensers, the choice of soap is vital. Some of the soaps out there dry up in the pump and others are not compatible with the metal in the hand pump and can dissolve the copper in the handle. If there is any green in the soap after is has been sitting for a few days, the soap is not compatible.

Turn it off and use a the eye of a needle to clean out where it dispenses and if your using dish soap its too thick .I use regular antibacterial liquid hand soap and mine has never clogged.I have 4 of them.

I don't know what soap they are using, but I normally just use regular foam hand soap (Dial) from a pump.

I don't think you can use a foam soap in this particular model. It is made for your basic liquid hand soap, detergent or a thinner lotion. I don't even know if they have a model for the foam soap but if they do, you would probably like it! I love mine :)

I've done that and it's worked out ok. I'd be very careful with what you use. You do not want too much soap. Less is better. Also important - cleaning of the machine afterwards.

I am using it with other liquid soaps and it works perfectly - This is an incredible soap dispenser - I have ordered another one.

Hmm... We've refilled ours several times without issue... Does the pump portion work (i.e. go up and down) but no soap comes out? Did you try emptying it and adding more water to the soap and water mixture? May be possible that the soap mixture is too thick...

Unscrew the reservoir cap and pour in liquid soap then screw the cap back and pump when you need itI would not recommend it unless you use it frequently Otherwise the liquid soap will dry out and very messy to clean.

It is produced as a liquid soap dispenser, so the consistency of the liquid is really the issue. If you used something more water-like in viscosity, the pump might not work as well. You wouldn't know until you tried it. Of course, if the liquid shampoo or conditioner or other types of liquid soap used were of a very high viscosity (more like molasses), then the pump might clog. We had a kitchen liquid soap dispenser where we had this problem - we bought liquid soap we thought the pump would use, but it was too viscous and the pump did not work correctly. I'm sure this applies to the pump in this product.
